Contribution to the conference: Bridging the Gender Gap in Rural Mountain Regions - Challenges: Digitalization as an opportunity - Case study Mestia (Georgia)

The contribution of Theresia Oedl-Wieser dealt with the empowerment of women in a high mountain region in Georgia or results of community-led local development initiatives.

Among other things, it was shown that many local activities are based on long-term socio-cultural processes that require a deep awareness of site-specific conditions and sufficient time for the development of adapted measures.
